Simply give a larger share of timeslices to the TCP receiver won't solve the problem. No matter what the timeslice is, if the TCP receiving process has packets within backlog, and the process is expired and moved to the expired array, RTO might happen in the TCP sender. The solution does not look like that simple. wenji - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
